AIX Nairobi thumbnail long

AIX Nairobi offers perspectives on developments in host nation Kenya and the East African Power Pool (Eapp) region plus analysis of wider corporate developments and constraints facing the industry.

The 2025 agenda examines what AIX is calling ‘Constructive, Productive and Disruptive energy’ for Africa.

🔹 ‘Constructive energy’ – building on the projects, financial models, positive models of community engagement and business best practise that have worked so far.

🔹 ‘Productive energy’ – driving new industries and financial models to drive sustainable economic growth and social uplift.

🔹 ‘Disruptive energy’ – harnessing new technologies, evolving markets and social change to transform developing economies into emerging markets.

Key themes for 2025

🔹 Market in transition — What does the power market look like in 2025 and how might it evolve over the next 5 years? How should stakeholders position themselves given local, regional and international trends?
🔹 Unlocking the region’s power market — Updates on EAPP market rules, trading platform, the market operator and grid coordination functions.
🔹 Opening up the market — The future of IPPs, energy trade, wheeling and the supply of power.
🔹Transmission investment — Independent transmission projects (ITPs) and other models to encourage private investment in the region.
🔹 Blended finance instruments — What is needed to help mobilise private sector investment.
🔹 Strengthening domestic financial systems — Developing local capital markets and mobilising currency hedging to scale up investment in innovative energy projects.
🔹 Power to X: exploring the post-carbon economy — Examining the evolution of green hydrogen, green ammonia, synthetic fuels. How are these industries progressing and what can be expected within the next five years?
🔹 Meeting growing energy demand — New energy intensive sectors sourcing green electricity and the effect Commercial and Industrial solutions have on markets and utilities.
🔹 Energy storage — Understanding the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) market and the technical requirements of BESS projects.
🔹 Let’s talk about ESG —  positive models of community engagement and business best practise that have worked so far.
🔹 Financing distributed renewable energy — What is the investor mood in East Africa?

Held under the Chatham House Rule, AIX: Nairobi provides a significant platform for governments, institutions and other stakeholder groups to hold free and frank discourse on major policy issues in Kenya and the wider region.
